Use idle_power4.S from ppc64 as we are not going to support 32 bit power4 in the merged tree. Merge ppc64 traps.c into powerpc traps.c: use ppc64 versions of exception routine names (as they don't have StudlyCaps) make all the versions if die() have the same prototype Signed-off-by:

The attached patch adds extra permission grants to keys for the possessor of a key in addition to the owner, group and other permissions bits. This makes SUID binaries easier to support without going as far as labelling keys and key targets using the LSM facilities. This patch adds a second "pointer type" to key structures (struct key_ref *) that can have the bottom bit of the address set to indicate the possession of a key. This is propagated through searches from the keyring to the discovered key. It has been made a separate type so that the compiler can spot attempts to dereference a potentially incorrect pointer. The "possession" attribute can't be attached to a key structure directly as it's not an intrinsic property of a key. Pointers to keys have been replaced with struct key_ref *'s wherever possession information needs to be passed through. This does assume that the bottom bit of the pointer will always be zero on return from kmem_cache_alloc(). The key reference type has been made into a typedef so that at least it can be located in the sources, even though it's basically a pointer to an undefined type. I've also renamed the accessor functions to be more useful, and all reference variables should now end in "_ref". Signed-Off-By:

In kmalloc_node we are checking if the allocation is for the same node when interrupts are "on". This may lead to an allocation on another node than intended. This patch just shifts the check for the current node in __cache_alloc_node when interrupts are disabled. Signed-off-by:

My previous patch fixing invalidation of huge PTEs wasn't good enough, we still had an issue if a PTE invalidation batch contained both small and large pages. This patch fixes this by making sure the batch is flushed if the page size fed to it changes. Signed-off-by:

When creating a multipath device, if the queue_if_no_path parameter is specified it gets ignored. While the queue_if_no_path variable is correctly set to 1, the saved_queue_if_no_path gets set to 0. When the device is subsequently made live (resumed), the saved value (0) always overwrites the live value (1) so the option *always* gets turned off. The fix adds a parameter to the queue_if_no_path() function to indicate whether the previous value should be preserved or not - if not, as when the device is being set up, the saved value is set to the new value (1).

If anything is waiting on a device's table when the device is removed, we must first wake it up so it will release its reference. Otherwise the table's reference count will not drop to zero and the table will not get removed. Signed-Off-By:

The following patch makes swsusp avoid problems during resume if there are too many pages to save on suspend. It adds a constant that allows us to verify if we are going to save too many pages and implements the check (this is done as early as we can tell that the check will trigger, which is in swsusp_alloc()).

This should resolve the issue seen in bugme bug #5105, where it is assumed that dualcore x86_64 systems have synced TSCs. This is not the case, and alternate timesources should be used instead. For more details, see: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5105 Andi's earlier concerns that the TSCs should be synced on dualcore systems have been resolved by confirmation from AMD folks that they can be unsynced.

The following patch removes some wrong code from the data_free() function in swsusp. This function could only be called if there's an error while writing the suspend image to swap, so it is not triggered easily. However, if triggered, it would probably corrupt some memory. Signed-off-by:

Fid management cleanup. The patch attempts to fix the races in dentry's fid management. Dentries don't keep the opened fids anymore, they are moved to the file structs. Ideally there should be no more than one fid with fidcreate equal to zero in the dentry's list of fids. v9fs_fid_create initializes the important fields (fid, fidcreated) before v9fs_fid is added to the list. v9fs_fid_lookup returns only fids that are not created by v9fs_create. v9fs_fid_get_created returns the fid created by the same process by v9fs_create (if any) and removes it from dentry's list Signed-off-by:

Move the ZERO_PAGE remapping complexity to the move_pte macro in asm-generic, have it conditionally depend on __HAVE_ARCH_MULTIPLE_ZERO_PAGE, which gets defined for MIPS. For architectures without __HAVE_ARCH_MULTIPLE_ZERO_PAGE, move_pte becomes a noop. From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Fix nasty little bug we've missed in Nick's mremap move ZERO_PAGE patch. The "pte" at that point may be a swap entry or a pte_file entry: we must check pte_present before perhaps corrupting such an entry. Patch below against 2.6.14-rc2-mm1, but the same bug is in 2.6.14-rc2's mm/mremap.c, and more dangerous there since it's affecting all arches: I think the safest course is to send Nick's patch and Yoichi's build fix and this fix (build tested) on to Linus - so only MIPS can be affected.
